You Can Do It

By -
I really believe that if people put their mind to something, they can accomplish it. The thing to keep in mind though, is, don't succeed in something that doesn't matter. Find something that truly matters, then put your mind to it. Ideally it's at the cross-section of your interests and your skill sets. When your skills meet your interest, that becomes a passion. And with a passion you can put your mind to make anything happen.

Absorb and Edit

By -
Absorb new information and edit your assumptions.  Don’t be to rigid you can’t change your mind.  Allow new information to shape and change your thinking.  Use your critical thinking to check if the new information is valid and useful.  Then update your assumptions.

Choose Community

By -
No one can go it alone. Some may think they can.  But they’re still piggy backing off the efforts of others.  Ego is the Enemy (a good book by Ryan Holiday).  Don’t think so highly of yourself that you isolate yourself. Live in community. And good community at that.

Maximum and Minimum

By -
Know when to do the maximum and when to do the minimum. It’s called pacing.  That’s wisdom.  Not everything deserves all your energy.  But on the things that do, give it your all.

Did I Listen?

By -
I talked to lots of people today. But did I listen? They're not the same thing. Listening is intentional until it becomes a habit.  A good listener is someone people like to be around. A good listener can make people feel heard and understood.

Connections and Quality

By -
Your quality of life is very much proportionate to the quality of connections you have.  If you need a quality of life boost, link up with high quality people.  The reverse is true too. So keep that in mind in deciding who you will allow in your sphere of influences.

The Race

By -
Today we ran a 76 mile relay race.  It reminded me that the race isn’t just for the swift, but it’s for those who ensure to the end. Fast doesn’t always get you to the end. But people with endurance get to the end.
